Hello All, I'm a first year graduate student and I'm planning to study the evolutionary response of native plant populations to an invasive plant competitor. Right now I'm at the stage of trying to figure out exactly which invasive and native plants to work with. I'm wondering if anyone has noticed any invasive plants that seem to be especially strong competitors with a specific native plant species? I would also be interested in instances where an invasive plant appears to be facilitating a native plant species.
I'll most likely be doing my field work in Virginia at Mountain Lake Biological Station, but I could potentially go anywhere. thanks for your help! Carolyn
